Cañon City Anniversary Portraits: Tiffany & Luke – Part 1

Okay, braces yourself.  I don’t know if you can handle all of this eye candy that’s about to hit your screen.  Tiffany and Luke, and their new baby Ellie, are pretty much some of the most beautiful subjects you will ever see.  I’m serious.  Over Christmas, I had the opportunity to work with Tiffany and Luke, both Cañon City High School grads (Go Tigers!).  It was a shoot I had been looking forward to for months – it wasn’t an engagement shoot just a “we need some René Tate quality portraits of us” shoot. :) Always a good shoot to have.  So, we had a great time shooting around my hometown (which is a total rarity!), including Luke’s parents’ backyard (which was so neat, cause I’ve always admired his house since I was a child), the Abbey winery (coooool!), and downtown Cañon City.  Feast your eyes upon some of the most beautiful images of 2009.  And definitely make sure you come back for more mouth-watering images in Part II!

Introducing: Tiffany and Luke (and Luke’s Christmas present: Ellie :-)

I know!  Aaaadorable.

Meet Ellie:

You should see these two together… All they do is laugh and love.  They were the easiest people to shoot.

Their chemistry was through the roof good!

Okay, check out this old door that Luke’s dad just HAPPEN to have in his yard!

I took one look at it and knew I had to have it.

Brace yourselves.  This girl is fall-out-of-your-chair beautiful.

And knows how to work the camera!

MY. FAVORITE.

Enter the Abbey Winery:

I’m tempted to say, “It doesn’t get much better than this,” but I’d totally be lying. We were just getting warmed up!  Part II = amazing.

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
